Grade: B

The final area we scored turned out to be this nursing home's weakest area. However, even its lowest point would likely be a strength for many facilities. In fact, we awarded it a favorable grade of B for our long-term care category. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in long-term care it is a good sign for patient care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids.
